What does the personal
training, fitness, and nutrition
industry have to offer?

The fitness industry is a wide
open field. Jobs include: health club owners, conditioning
coaches, personal trainers, instructors for groups, females,
or youth, and many
more!

In today's market, some
personal trainers earn $50 - $150 per training session. After
building a successful clientele, you can easily earn $50,000 -
$ 80,000 per year!

With the obesity rate accelerating
in the US, there is a demand for personal trainers who know
how to work with youth and adolescents.

The ability to work with adults and
youth in a proper exercise program is not all that is
needed; so is the ability to help clients with their
nutrition.

It is really hard to find
a job that you love to be at everyday. Having a fitness
related career is exciting! You will interact with many
people, and you will receive the satisfaction of knowing that
you have played a positive role in a client's life.

Muscle Recovery

AFTA personal trainers learn
how to teach their clients the importance of recovery. In
spite of what many people believe, muscles do NOT grow in the gym.
In other words, as long as someone uses specific muscles, they will
not strengthen.

A client should choose a
personal trainer who knows how much recovery time is needed for top
performance and
doesn't overtrain a client.

Focus of Personal
Training

Personal training is not just
for building large muscles for a bodybuilder's physique. It
should also focus on health, wellness, and fitness.
